They have been in captivity as their families could not settle the N12 million ransom demanded by the bandits.
The girls who are all wearing hijab looked seriously emaciated and were crying at the top of their voices, calling for urgent help for the settlement of the N12 million before the deadline as they did not want to remain with the marauding bandits as their wives.
They repeatedly appealed to the state governor to do something urgently to get them released and returned to their families. They however blamed former Governor Bello Mattawalle who was in the picture of their predicament during his tenure but did not do anything. Contacted for comment on the issue, the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Dauda Lawal on Broadcast Media, Press, and Public Affairs, Mustafa Jafaru Kaura, said he was travelling to Gusau from Abuja and promised to shed more light on his return.All rights reserved.
